    Thanks to all of you who helped me get my Wico Big Top working. After your help with the transistors and capacitors it is working great.

    The last owner put a new ring/band kit on it, but they left one off. It is a 2 inch white band.

    Where is the best place to buy a single band?

    I still have the package from the band kit. Should I go back to them, so all the bands match and look the same?

    Stern pinball. And you can choose between Kiss, AC/DC, Metallica, Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones.

    Give these guys a call. Shipping one ring is going to be hard to swallow. Hopefully, you can walk in and just buy one ring.

    It looks like there are 100 or so pinsiders in the Phoenix area. Perhaps even one withing walking distance. When I need one or two bands to finish a project, I hit up one of the local guys and I do the same for them.

    Just buy a new set +1. Shipping will kill you.

    If you are posting here, you will soon have more than one game. At one point Pinball Life had a starter rubber kit. Quick search doesn't bring it up. It had a good selection. I've seen it with other manufacturers as well. At the very least buy some extra flipper rubber, extra lamps, Novus 1 and 2 if you don't have it. Playfield wax, rubber cleaner.

    Thanks everyone for your help. CactusJack Shredso o-din Dopes214tx Travish .

    You are right @CactusJack, Firebird pinball is only about 2 miles from me. However, they work out of their house so I probably need to schedule an appointment. Still, that seems like the best way, since paying twice as much for shipping than I paid for the object kills me.

    How can I find out which pinsiders are in my city @o-din?

    I like your idea also @shredso, I found the kits you were talking about

    Pinside map. And don't buy rubbers from pinballlife as they are crap. Marco way better.

    Wow, that is pretty cool. It shows there are 250 Pinsiders. Thanks for the info and the Marco tip
